Golfer Reviews
This is top 10 in Washington?
Then Washington doesn't have good golf compared to much of the country.
I can see the good. It has a textured layout. It would be pretty if it wasn't all burned out...but it was all burned out. It has a real driving range (rare in WA), but of course you are on the mats all summer.
A couple spots have great views of Rainier. The Taproom is actually excellent and the outdoor patio during the nice weather (like this was in September).
Downsides: Alternately gushy or hard and bare right in front of the greens. Broken sprinklers? Many? How does this place handle rain? Because there were wet, low spots in the fairways, too. Alongside burnt out swaths. I don't need Augusta, but i would say this went beyond reasonable natural imperfections. This was 'Needs Attention'.
Under Construction
This course has potential, I've been playing here for a few years. The downside is it looks like the course is never finished, temporary greens, Cart paths crumbling away most of the water hazards are drained and exposing black tarps. Rarely do you see any mobile Cart service. Forget playing in the winter unless you like to lose your ball in the middle of the fairways due to soft muddy conditions. Oh and you'll have to track someone down to get range balls out of the machine they get backed up. The new GPS Carts are cool, it's a good step in making improvements. Beautiful views.
Seen better conditions.
I really like this golf course. Have played here many times. It is actually much better earlier in the season, as they use the water from the ponds to water the course. The ponds were almost empty and the fairways were very dry and not in very good shape. But it is late and there has been very little rain. Otherwise this course is a great place to play. The layout is fun and challenging, although the fairway bunkers are a little deep for my liking. People are nice and helpful and they have an outstanding 19th hole where the food is outstanding and the service is fast and friendly.
Could be better
Druids is a challenging course, but not knowing we would play the front 9 twice as our "deal" was a bit disappointing.
Course needs work
Greens are damaged. Fairways are burnt and not in good shape. Sometimes had to find some decent grass to put ball
Unpleasantly Surprised
This course is typically one of my favorites in the area so i was unpleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. Most of the greens were in fairly poor condition, lots of brown/ dead grass in fairways, and all of the water features were significantly low if not entirely dry. This certainly detracted from the normal beauty of the course.
Disappointing
It has been a couple years since I played this course and was extremely disappointed. The greens were very slow and "nappy". They have obviously put in patches where they had problems which really did not help much. There were areas on the greens that were burnt out with no living grass.
As bad as the greens were the fairways were even worse. Many large areas with no grass and bare lies. Off the fairways bare hardpan.
Tee boxes had almost no grass on them.
Too many courses nearby in superior condition at lower prices.
What a shame.
This is a great layout with interesting challenges in every hole. I always appreciated how meticulously maintained and beautiful this track was. Sadly, this responsible now don't seem to know what they're doing. The fairways have been cut to nubs and the result is hardpan throughout. The greens have been destroyed and now are dried up patchy remnants of a once glorious course. I hope they can bring it back by next season. I won't return this year.
Poor greens
I have always loved the challenging layout of the course but the maintenance of the greens have always been terrible. Better to call the course first before you pay the service charge fee for GolfNow.
Great Course, Great Views
This is one of my favorite courses. The views were excellent, and the course was in great shape. My son and I had a great round. The only issue was that the pace of play was pretty slow...
Druids Glen Golf Course
Value was good because it included a cart; however, the course layout is not great and some of the greens were in bad shape - so that is why I don't recommend it.
Great course, but the greens need work ~
The course overall was in fair shape, but about half of the greens were in very rough condition, some even bare.
